I'm glad this subject has come up, as it has been on my mind for some time. Does anyone know of any studies that may have been done regarding dairy consumption during pregnancy and it's effect on later breastfeeding? From what I have observed, it seems that moms who consume several glasses of milk a day, or lots of ice cream during their pregnancy, have babies that are very sensitive to their continued consumption of these same products when breastfeeding. I would like to know if others have noted the same. It would be nice to know if there was some proof out there, and could then encourage OB doctors to encourage their moms to get their calcium and protein through other food sources. It seems the large consumption of dairy in pregnancy sensitizes their babies gut to this protein. Any truth???
